I may have to change all the components to make another operating system work on it. I don't know. Do you have any idea. It's a COMPAQ 5100 Presario, 800 mHz CELERON. A virus destroyed the hardrive and compaq says that no other operating system will work with the board. Is this true?

"First disconnect any Printers, Scanners, Camera's, ect...
ONLY the Mouse, Keyboard & Moniter should be attached when you run the
Quick Restore CD,
Before you run the QR CD, You'll need to run FDISK,
FDISK will clean the hard drive of any errors,
(takes about 5 minutes to complete)
You'll need 1 new or blank floppy disk to make a Startup disk,
Using any pc, go to the control panel,
open the "Add / Remove programs",
then click on "Startup Disk", (upper-right)
Insert the floppy disk & choose "Create Startup Disk",
then once completed,
Reboot your pc with the startup disk,
choose option # 3 (start computer without cd rom support)
you'll get an A:\ prompt,
Now type FDISK & press enter,
It'll read, "Do you wish to enable large disk support" (Y/N)
choose Y & press enter,
you'll then get a Menu,
choose option 3 & press enter,
again option 3 & press enter,
then press the letter 'D' & press enter,
It'll ask for the "Volume label",
type SYSTEM_SAV & press enter,
then press Y & press enter,
press the ESC key twice,
you'll be back at the Menu,
choose option 3 & enter,
then option 2 & enter,
press Y & enter,
press the ESC once,
choose option 3 & enter,
then option 1 & enter,
press enter twice,
then press Y & enter,
once 100% completed,
press the ESC key three times,
[All done with fdisk]
Remove the startup disk, Insert your QR CD & Reboot,
At the flashing compaq screen press the "Caps Lock" once,
After the compaq screen stops flashing,
press the "Num Lock" once,
choose your language (English) & press enter,
then choose your model & press enter,
the QR procedure will begin,
(Usually takes about 45 minutes to complete)."

Do you have already made a Windows Startup Diskette? If you don't, you need
to get one made.
Once you have a Startup diskette, put it in Drive A: and reboot the
computer.
At the A:\ prompt type Fdisk and hit enter. What does it show about the C:
partition? Is it active?
If no, make C: partition. Remove the Startup diskette.
Exit Fdisk and reboot the computer. It should boot up now. Your partition
was made inactive somehow and that causes the message you received at boot
up.
Note: If you write for help by using E-mail, always include your computer
Brand, Model, and number? Also the operating system and version? Ex. Win 98
SE. Include the nature of the problem and the status of the device giving
you the problem, if any. I won't have the original question in front of me
to review.
